An interview with Georgina

Here’s another friend of Culips—Georgina! She speaks English, French, Cantonese, and Japanese, all fluently! In this episode, we talk to her about her experiences learning these languages, and we find out what she recommends for learning to speak another language. This episode is sure to motivate you. Georgina is proof that we can all learn to speak other languages

Maura:

So we always try to choose someone to interview that has something a little bit interesting about them that we can talk about. And I have to say that out of all the people that we’ve interviewed on Culips, I think that Georgina speaks the most languages, which is pretty cool and I’m pretty jealous of, I have to say..

Georgina:

Thanks. That’s very flattering of you..

Maura:

So, first tell us a bit about yourself. You’re from Montreal and what else do we need to know about you?

Georgina:

Uh, I’m from Montreal. I’ll tell you how many languages I speak. Because I was born in Montreal, obviously I speak English and French. Um, I’m Chinese, so I also speak the Chinese dialect of Cantonese. And because I love Japan, I, uh, for the past five years, I have been learning how to speak Japanese. So I speak those four languages.

Maura:

Very impressive

Georgina:

Thank you.

Maura:

So, you grew up in Montreal and you grew up speaking three different languages then, right?

Georgina:

Basically, yes.

Maura:

And how did you learn and manage three different languages at the same time?
